Chapter 221

Refusal to return home

Hongzhu knelt in the east meditation hall of the Seishin-an. Kowtow and say:

"The slave begged the second grandmother to go back, the eldest master and the old lady both spoke, the second master really insisted, you can not be the head of the house"

"Hongzhu, you get up, I'm not the second grandmother anymore, and then go back to serve the second master Yu Li discord, Hongzhu for me to return to the old lady, thank the old lady for his love to me, said that I know that the identity of the concubine is violated, I dare not let the second master bear the charge of unfilial piety, please take back the old lady's life"

Hongzhu listened, kowtowed and said:

"The slave begged the second grandmother, you don't look at anything, just read the second master's true feelings for you, save the second master, the second master has not eaten water and rice since he woke up, and he saw that he had lost half his life. Even drinking water vomited, Imperial Doctor Li said, the second master has no desire to survive, it will be like this, only by opening the heart knot, it may get better, the old lady wants the slave to come to beg you to go back and persuade the second master, as long as you go, the second master will be fine. ”

As soon as she heard Hongzhu say what the second master ate and vomited, Mengxi's face changed slightly, and she also heard the eldest aunt talk about the situation of the second master, she originally thought that the second master was just angry and went on a hunger strike, and also secretly laughed at the second master's naivety, which is also what a family head should do, it is simply that he can't eat sugar and plays tricks; Secretly sighing that the medical conditions in this ancient world are too poor, if you get it to the modern era and give you a forced infusion, the vegetative person can live for ten or twenty years, and I am afraid that you will not eat for a few days.

Hearing Hongzhu say this, she also felt that the problem was serious, it seemed that the second master had anorexia nervosa, and she forcibly suppressed the uneasiness that rose in her heart, thought for a moment, and said calmly:

"Hongzhu, go back and tell the second master that I have already broken off with him. His life or death has nothing to do with me, I heard that Yichuntang's pills have miraculous curative effects, you go back and persuade the old lady to go to Yichuntang to ask for some, it may be useful"

"The old lady sent the housekeeper to go in person, and when the Yichun Hall saw the Xiao family, he didn't say a word, and then kicked it out."

"How is that possible!"

When Mengxi heard this, he was taken aback, looked at Zhixia and Zhidong, and saw that their eyes were full of excitement, and he knew that it must be what Zhiqiu was angry with the eldest lady for doing, and Chongde was furious. sighed secretly, this Zhiqiu is good at everything, but she is not calm when she encounters her. glanced at Hongzhu and said:

"Hongzhu, you also know, I often punish Zhiqiu and them to go to Yichun Hall to get medicine, Yichun Tang's attitude has always been very good, there has never been the kind of situation you said, I think when Mr. De goes, there are people who are in a bad mood when they meet, you go back to the old lady. Zhixia is very familiar with a runner in Yichun Hall, so if he can't do it, let Zhixia go to help the second master ask for some medicine. ”

"Second grandmother, slave maid ......"

"Go back, Zhixia, send red beads"

Without waiting for Hongzhu to say more, Mengxi directly issued an eviction order, Zhixia hurriedly responded, stepped forward to help Hongzhu, who was still kneeling on the ground and refused to get up, seeing that the second grandmother had made up her mind, Hongzhu reluctantly kowtowed to her, and walked out with Zhixia.

Hongzhu left, and Mengxi instructed Zhixiadao, who had just returned to the house:

"Inform Li Du, the Xiao family will ask for medicine again, let Li Du take two anti-nausea pills and a heart-nourishing pill, and tell the Xiao family, first give the second master an anti-nausea pill, and then take the heart-nourishing pill if the second master doesn't vomit, and then use it after eating, and then slowly recuperate according to the prescription of the imperial doctor, by the way, tell Li Du, don't accept these medicines, just say that I sent them."

Zhixia answered, looked at the second grandmother, and couldn't help but say:

"Second grandma, the second master is affectionate to you, just because of your status as a concubine, I have to divorce you, and now the eldest master and the old lady have promised. The second master can not be the head of the family, why should the second grandmother insist so much, although Yichun Hall can ensure that you go out of the Xiao Mansion to live a leisurely life, but you are ...... According to the slave maid, we might as well accept it when we see it, and rely on the old lady. ”

After listening to Zhixia's words, Mengxi also understood what she meant, this ancient is not as modern as the modern one, women will not be blinded when they divorce and live alone, in this ancient times when women are advocating three from the four virtues and ending from the beginning, women are taken off by their husbands, and they can't hold their heads up in front of the world, and they can drown you by spitting stars. Therefore, she spent two years brainwashing these maids, but including Zhiqiu, she didn't want her to really be suspended, let alone Zhixia.

glanced at Zhixia, sighed and said:

"You think too simply, the second master doesn't be the head of the family, it's okay if the old lady and the eldest master don't agree, now they have agreed, and I will stay in the Xiao family. I'm afraid there is only one dead end. ”

"Why?"

Zhixia and Zhidong asked at the same time in surprise.

"Think about it, the second master has agreed to divorce me, why doesn't the eldest lady still give me up and want to put me to death"

When Zhixia and Zhidong heard this, they both shook their heads, only to see Mengxi continue:

"It's because the second master said that I won't be the head of the family, so I must die, and the eldest lady can't tolerate the existence of a factor that threatens the second master's ascension to the position of head of the family. The second master really doesn't want to be the head of the family, what else does the eldest lady have? Now the old lady and the eldest master have agreed, just because of this promise. My eldest wife and I have become an endless game, not to mention the eldest wife, not to mention the old lady and the eldest master, are they really willing to let the second master not be the head of the house? The eldest lord will not give up the position of the head of the family to the son of the second master, among the three sons of the eldest master, the uncle has been from the official career, and the position of the head of the family has no chance, although the third master is bright and fair, but he is bold by nature, likes to be unrestrained, and there is no talent of the second master in business, it is not the talent of the head of the family, I can see these clearly, the old lady, the eldest master can rest assured that the position of the head of the family will be handed over to the third master? ”

"Didn't the second master say that he could assist the third master! Besides, this is what the old lady personally promised, how could she regret it! ”

"I'm afraid that it's because the second master is critically ill, in order to comfort the second master, the old lady made this decision, not to say whether I want to stay in Xiao Mansion, just say that today I really agreed, I'm afraid that the second master will be good in the future, I don't even have a chance to go down the court, and there is only a dead end in Xiao Mansion."

When Zhidong heard this, he shuddered and muttered:

"Are they really that ruthless? You are kind to the Xiao family! ”

"Can you expect them to break for my sake? In their eyes, I'm just a lowly concubine! ”

When Zhixia heard this, he said angrily:

"What the second grandmother said is also true, we can't put our lives here because of the second master's affection, let's leave here quickly."

When Zhixia said this, he suddenly remembered that the second grandmother asked Li Du to send medicine, and said unevenly:

"Second grandmother, the Xiao family is ruthless and unjust, not to mention trapping you in this Qingxin Nunnery, for the position of the second master's family, I want to put you to death. Why did you bother to help them just now, it's better if the second master dies, so that the eldest lady doesn't have to be poor, lest she always think how good their son is, and if you marry her son, it will defile the façade of her family! ”

"It's the eldest lady who wants to put me to death, it has nothing to do with the second master, the eldest lady can't let the second master bear the mistake she makes, besides, the second master is really dead, I can only be trapped in the Xiao Mansion in the name of a widow, maybe I will really live in this Qingxin Nunnery in the future, for the sake of the future, now I can only save the second master first, cure his illness, and let him send me out of the Xiao Mansion safely."

After listening to Zhixia's words, Mengxi explained faintly, she didn't know if this was to answer Zhixia, or to make excuses for herself that she would not hesitate to save the second master, she only felt that just now when she thought that the second master would die, she felt a cramping pain in her heart, making her unable to breathe.

The second master was tossed and vomited a few times this day, and at this time he had no strength, and he lay on the bed with a pale face, if it wasn't for his chest lying together, it would make people feel that he was still breathing, and he looked like a dead man.

At this moment, the second master rarely woke up, and the old lady sitting on the edge of the bed held his hand and persuaded bitterly:

"Jun'er is a man, he should have some responsibility for everything, why is his mind so narrow, how can he look like a man."

"Grandma'......"

"Your mother and I also have good intentions, although I know that you like Xi'er, but Xi'er's daughter's background is contrary, I can't be with you, thinking that the long pain is better than the short pain, let you separate as soon as possible, it is also for your good, as for Xi'er, our Xiao family will never treat her badly, I can't think of it, Jun'er can't think about it like this, and I really can't bear to let me, a white-haired person, send a black-haired person."

"Grandma, Jun'er is not filial, Jun'er doesn't want to be like this, Jun'er also wants to get better soon, there are still many things to do, but Jun'er really can't eat anything......"

Listening to her grandson's weak voice, the old lady couldn't help but burst into tears, and even the eldest man sitting on the side wiped his eyes.

"Jun'er, don't say it, grandma knows your heart knot, and I discussed it with your parents just now, if you like Xi'er, let her stay in Xiao Mansion to serve you, don't force you to divorce her, your father is still young, don't rush to let you take over the position of head of the family, we can always come up with a way in the future, your father also said, Jun'er really insists, it's okay not to be the head of the family, as long as Jun'er is good, everything depends on you"

The second master listened to his grandmother's words, his eyes lit up, and then he dimmed again, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Grandma, Xi'er is determined to leave, we can't keep her, Jun'er doesn't want to force her to stay, I just beg grandma not to embarrass her because of this, for the sake of her kindness to the Xiao family, let her go."

"Jun'er, don't talk nonsense, you didn't write a letter of resignation to her, she is always a member of my Xiao family, I asked Hongzhu to invite her, she has been gone for most of the day, and she thinks she will be back soon..."

Listening to the words of the second master, a strong uneasiness rose in the old lady's heart, and she hurriedly interrupted the second master's words, and was talking, only to see Hongzhu walking in listlessly.

Seeing Hongzhu coming in alone, the second master sighed secretly, he had already guessed this result, but there was always a glimmer of hope in his heart, and when he saw Hongzhu's expression, he closed his eyes weakly.

After Hongzhu came in, he saluted the old lady, glanced at the second master, hesitated for a moment and replied:

"Back to the old lady, the slave maid passed your words to the second grandmother, and the second grandmother only asked the slave and the maid to tell the second master, she and the second master have long been cut off, and the second master's life and death have nothing to do with her......"

"What! Xi'er is so ruthless and unrighteous. ”

When the old man heard this, he stood up.
